Columbus Blue Jackets (21-30-10, 52 points, 8th Metro, 16th East)
at
Pittsburgh Penguins (27-24-8, 62 points, 7th Metro, 12th East)
A win for the Blue Jackets tonight would put the Penguins closer to the bottom of the division than to the last wild card spot. Things have been going poorly for Columbus’ easterly neighbor this season. Despite having Crosby, Malkin, Letang, and Karlsson healthy for every game so far, the Penguins have struggled offensively. Could the Blue Jackets be the team that pushes them into sell mode prior to Friday’s trade deadline?
